Hi guys,

I've an Asus Zenbook 14 oled laptop (UM3402YA model) from about 1 year and half, with Windows 11 Home (23H2 build 22631.3880), and all Windows/Microsoft updates and also MyAsus updates installed.

Since Windows Momentum update at march 2023, the emdedded SSD (INTEL SSDPEKNU010TZ 1TB), that had 3500 MB/s read and 2800 MB/s write speed at the beginning, now has only 2500 MB/s read and 1800 MB/s write speed.
Microsoft claims that already fixed with some Windows updates the SDD slow issue, but in my case the problem is still present.

I've tried to reduce the used space (from 120 GB to about 90 GB of 1 TB total), and tried many workarounds found on the web (checking if the AHCI mode and TRIM command are on, fragmentation off, power mode on maximum performance etc.), but I got the same performance.

Are needed some other configurations, after Windows updates that should fix the issue, to make them work?

Thanks a lot
Have a nice day

Try testing the SSD speed at Safe Mode which will tell us if it's caused by third-party program or service.

Thanks for your suggestion @FreeBooter.
I've tried and I got same performance.

There are various ways to potentially speed up your SSD, such as ensuring your operating system and drivers are up-to-date, regularly defragmenting the SSD, reducing the amount of data it stores, and enabling write caching on the device.

The SSDs can slow down if they get too full. Ideally, you should try to keep at least 10-20% of your SSD’s storage free to maintain optimal performance

Yes, you're right.
Windows and all drivers are up-to-date, the automatic degramentation was setu up once a week, but some tutorial online suggest to disable, so I've tried to disable it.
I've about 10% of used space and writing caching is enabled.

I suppose that you're reporting those numbers based on benchmarking software.

What software is it?

What software is it?
Yes, first I found that copying files was slower than before Momentum update, and then I used CrystalDiskMark software, since when I bought the laptop I used same app to check the performance after installing all apps and my data.

Have you tried this tool?

Thanks for your suggestion!
That Intel SSD Firmware Update Tool is not working for my specific SDD, but I found a Solidigm tool that updated the SSD firmware and made the optimization.
But the perfomance are still the same.

You could try clean installation of Windows 11 because i don't think the speed anything to do with Windows 11 update i don't have problem.

I would have bet that it's not a firmware issue anyway.

I wish that I could suggest a fix.

I suppose that you could try a clean install of Windows 11, as Freebooter suggested.

What I would do is image the OS drive first, and then try a clean install. If that fixes the speed issue, then your problem was due to some sort of corruption in Windows. I've never seen an update produce an issue like yours.

Thanks for you same suggestion @FreeBooter and @bobkn

Yes, a Windows 11 clean install is something that could solve the issue, but I don't really like to do that.
Manually installing the Asus softwares that balance cpu performance with speed fan, and the oled display, and all other apps...it will take a while.
l'll think about it. I make a image backup with Macrium Reflect once a week...

Thanks again for your support.
